Structured keywords and path

[eja]

I'm experimenting with structured key words.  Why would it be useful to add a path of the key word to an image?  I don't understand the importance of adding a path rather than simply adding the keyword without the path.

Thanks

Without a path, there is no hierarchy--you just get a set of keywords but they can then come in any order (Keywords is an unordered list).  So if you want Animals|Farm Animals|Chicken then apply the path.  If you instead want the random collection of keywords then don't use the path (you'll get something like Chicken, Animals, Farm Animals).
